We Like Our Books Violent

There's something about an epic fantasy book that demands it has a weapon on the cover - whether it stands alone or is wielded by a model portraying the protagonist. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites.(Several people have told me I should read this series. What do y'all think?)

(I mean, the title mentions a sword, so I guess this was to be expected.)

(Literally look at any book in the Throne of Glass series.)(Not gonna lie, this one feels like a Graceling knock-off.)(There's even some blood.)(This cover is the subtlest of the trilogy, but Kestrel holds a dagger.)The good news is, I didn't get any paper cuts while writing this post. Anyways, what are your thoughts on this cover trend?
